Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400023
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a fully implantable, fluid-filled device designed to treat male stress urinary incontinence. It features a pressure-regulating balloon preset to 51–60 cm H₂O, along with a scrotal pump and occlusive urethral cuff. This non-antibiotic (non‑InhibiZone) model provides controlled urethral compression with manual voiding.
This three-component system recreates natural sphincter function by compressing the urethra until the user manually activates the pump to urinate. The balloon reservoir maintains consistent hydraulic pressure in the cuff to ensure reliable continence. With over 250,000 implants worldwide and over 40 years of use, it stands as the gold standard treatment for moderate-to-severe postoperative incontinence. Comprehensive clinical data show approximately 79% of patients are dry or improved, with device survival rates around 72% at 5 years and 56% at 10 years.
